My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Season 4

Episode 7: Looking For a Purpose

(It opens as Chris is walking around Ponyville for something to do.)

Chris: There's gotta be something for me to do.

(He goes to Sweet Apple Acres and goes up to Applejack as she, Big Macintosh, and Applebloom are harvesting.)

Chris: Hey, can I help?
Applejack: Well sure. You can either help Big Mac with hauling, Applebloom with loading Big Mac up, or getting the apples down.
Chris: Okay, I'll try that last one.

(Chris kicks a tree as he winches, and an apple falls on his head, knocking him out.)

Applejack: Chris, Chris, are you alright?
Chris: Ow... Maybe I'll just load it up.

(Chris grabs a barrel and loads it as Applebloom does the same.)

Applebloom: Hey Chris, did ya hear Doug's story of the Pied Piper?
Chris: Oh yeah. I loved that story as a kid.

(They do it for awhile until Chris begins getting exhausted while Applebloom's still going strong.)

Chris: Urgh... I don't think I have the energy to do this sort of stuff for awhile. Hey Big Mac, mind if I help you pull?
Big Mac: Nope.
Chris: Great!

(Chris waits for Applebloom to load his cart and tries to pull, but makes it to the farm in twice the time it takes Big Mac.)

Chris (gasping): I guess this isn't much of a place for a beginner like me. If you ever really need help, let me know, but... Well... Do you mind if I take off?
Big Mac: Nope.
Chris: Thanks. See you and the other Apples around, Big Mac.
Big Mac: Eyup.

(Cut to later as Chris sees Rainbow Dash and Rob clearing up the sky.)

Chris: Hey, can I help?
Rainbow Dash: Sorry Chris. You gotta fly to do this.

(Rob punches several clouds and totals loads of them.)

Rob: YEAH!
Chris: Aw... Okay.

(Scootaloo speeds up on her scooter and plows through a cloud with it.)

Scootaloo: Sweetie Belle said that Rarity might need some help.
Chris: AWESOME!

(Cut to Carousel Boutique as Chris arrives.)

Sweetie Belle: Hi Chris.
Chris: Hey, I heard your sister needed help.
Rarity: Oh thank goodness! I need a model for Doug, Rob, and John's Nightmare Night costumes!

(Rarity grabs Chris.)

Chris: WHOA!

(Cut to Chris in a blue wizard's robe as Rarity is setting the pins.)

Rarity: Oh, yes, yes.
Chris: So, is this for John?
Rarity: Oh no, it's for Doug.
Chris: Oh.

(Chris wiggles a little.)

Rarity: Darling, could you please hold still?
Chris: Sorry.

(Cut to him wearing a Ponified version of Captain America's outfit from Captain America the First Avenger.)

Chris: Ooh... Is this for Rob?
Rarity: Naturally.
Chris: Cool.

(He moves his foreleg in a swinging motion.)

Rarity: Okay Chris, hold still a little longer.

(Cut to Chris in a Captain Britain outfit as he's gasping.)

Chris: Rarity... I think this is too tight.
Rarity: Oh dear. Don't worry. I made sure it matched the guys' sizes, so I just need to see how they look. Oh, it looks great. Oh, and I may need a few more, up for staying for a bit longer.
Chris: No way! I can't stay still any longer!

(Chris runs off.)

Rarity: Thanks for your help, Chris.

(Cut to Chris running into Fluttershy.)

Fluttershy: Hey Chris, could you help me? I've gotta go grocery shopping, and I need help looking after all my animal friends.
Chris: No problem.

(Cut to Fluttershy returning home as the animals have Chris in a boiling pot.)

Fluttershy: Oh my. What happened?
Chris: There was a problem.

(Fluttershy helps Chris out as he goes off.)

Chris: Oh... Now what? Ooh! Ooh! Twilight! Maybe I can help her!

(Chris runs to Twilight as she's with Doug looking over the Spells of Asteroth when Chris arrives.)

Chris: Hey Twilight, anything I can do?
Twilight: No, not really. I've been pretty busy looking for that new Portal Spell for Queen Amalthea and Princess Celestia.
Doug: And Princess Luna.
Chris: Aw... Really?
Twilight: Yup.

(Chris walks off sadly. Cut to outside as Chris walks out.)

Chris: Oh, what am I gonna do? I'm not strong enough to help out at Sweet Apple Acres. I can't fly to help clear the sky. I can't stand still, so Rarity can model her outfits on me. I'm not good with animals at all, and Twilight doesn't need any help.

(Pinkie comes up.)

Pinkie: Hi Chris. What's wrong?
Chris: I can't do anything.
Pinkie: Ooh! You can help me play with the Cake Twins!
Chris: Ooh...

(Cut to Sugar Cube Corner as the Twins are sitting there as Pinkie and Chris arrive.)

Chris: Hey kids, up to playing with your Aunt Pinkie and Uncle Chris?
Cake Twins: Yay!

(They play with them and laugh happily as a Cutie Mark, a smiley face, appears on Chris' flank.)

Chris: This is the bestest best day ever!

The End.
